This bill would change how Kentucky awards its electoral votes in presidential elections. Instead of all electoral certificates going to the candidate who wins the most votes statewide, the top vote-getter would receive two certificates and the remaining certificates would be divided among candidates whose parties received at least 10 percent of the statewide vote, based on their share of that vote. This shifts Kentucky away from a winner-take-all system toward a proportional one for presidential elections. Who it may affect: Kentucky voters participating in presidential elections, and political party organizations whose candidates compete for electoral votes in the state.
